Is Our Current Calendar Wrong? — On a Dash of Info
We check the date every day—but what if the calendar itself is flawed?
From ancient Egyptian star-watching and Babylonian moon cycles to Julius Caesar’s reforms and the Gregorian calendar we use today, humanity has been tweaking timekeeping for thousands of years. Each system solved problems… and created new ones. Drift, leap years, religious divides, cultural clashes—no calendar has ever been perfect.
In this episode of On a Dash of Info, we explore why calendars keep breaking, how different cultures track time, and whether modern alternatives—from 13-month calendars to the radical Holocene Calendar—might finally fix what’s wrong.
Is our calendar just a convenient compromise… or is it time to rethink how we measure history itself?
